Verse 2
Gar (E major) bage ain't collected,
(A major) women ain't protected
(E major) Politicians using, (A major) people they're abusing
The mafia's (E major) getting bigger,

And you (F sharp major) tell me that (B7) this is where it's at (E major)
Bridge 1
(A major) Woke up this morning
with an ache in my head
I splashed on my clothes
as I spilled out of bed
I (A major) opened the window to listen to the news
But (B7) all I heard was the Establishment's Blues
Verse 3
Gun (E major) sales are soaring,
housewives (A major) find life boring
Divorce (E major) the only answer,
(A major) smoking causes cancer
This (E major) system's gonna fall soon,
(A major) to an angry young tune
And (F sharp major) that's a concrete (B7) cold fact (E major)

(F sharp major) Spinster sells (B7) her hopeless chest (E major)
Verse 5
Adultery (E major) plays the kitchen,
(A major) bigot cops non-fiction
The (E major) little man gets shafted,
(A major) sons and monies drafted
(E major) Living by a time piece,
(A major) new war in the Far East
Can you (F sharp major) pass the (B7) Rorschach test? (E major)
Outro 1
It's a (A major) hassle it's an educated guess
Well, (B7) frankly I couldn't care less (E major)
